Rhoslc: I did see Meredith and hubby are back together...so seeing the journey air will be interesting. Lisa is type A...and she admits it so I'm sure hubby realizes it..but trying to help her find a balance. I do like they started as friends before becoming a couple. And judging on her Instagram...she does seem to love her hubby and sons. She just shows it in a different way. Jen and hubby's 1st date story was cute...but she's too messy. Lisa was right that if he was like Jen..they would be divorced. Heather is relatable. I wonder how Jen feels about the fact most viewers list Heather as their fav..and not her? Whitney has dad issues. She and Ashley from RHOP would click if they met. Mary is fascinating, and maybe just one scene an episode will make people want to see her more. I heard a rumor that a Meredith and Lisa argument happened during the hot tub confession scene.. Wonder if true or not. Lastly, I'm loving the hubby's getting confessional time..reminds me of early season OC. RHOD: I do hear some of the hubby's will also get confessional scenes. I hope that's true..because I liked the brief scene of Kameron's little girl being interviewed and making fun of her mom in an adorable way last season. I hope Kary's kids also get a confessional since they rolled their eyes at her antics last season.

The Nancy Barrett/Catharine Hicks version of Faith was the best position for the character. While Karen G had a similar look to Catherine Hicks...she was colder and more passive. A weird combo. Randall's Delia had a more vulnerable vibe that made me understand why Maeve would keep giving her chances. Illene's Delia was funnier, but seemed more like an annoyance that you kept around in small doses.

I think 1982 or 1983 is when residuals became a thing. I'm wondering if residuals had to be paid when EON and SFT were rerun on USA network back in the 80s.

I do sense a bond with Mary and Whitney...both were ostacized. Why was there a production company switch midway through filming?

Gizelle did look out of sorts...so hearing she lost her temper doesn't surprise. I like the Dallas taglines... I have a feeling Tiffany will.make an interesting impact on the show.

Oh dear if true..so sad

So I watched the 90 minute episode... Karen didn't come out the winner against Candiace. I would say it was a draw. Old bag of bones (Karen) should of known Candiace is not Gizelle. She will fight back verbally....and Karen was so emotional especially about Candiace saying she'll burn in hell....it was glorious to see and hear. Shame Monique is quitting.

Andy has always played favorites...I even tweeted that directly to him years ago..and he responded directly asking when he did that...even provided examples of him doing so when it came to Bethenny and Kyle. Did Monique also just say she quit?

Delia regressed even more once Illene came back. She even said in 1982 that she struggled to play Delia because she was in a different place than back in 1979. My late mom watched a 1981 episode..and wondered who that person was (i.e Delia). When I told her that was Delia..my mom didn't believe me since 1981 Delia seemed put together and wasn't a hot mess at least on the outside lol

RHOSLC Brooks so would have fit in during the OC teen era on OC. He gets more focus than Meredith does....only because she's more subdued I gather. Lisa and hubby: they seem like a typical married couple. And deep within her frost is a bit of warmth. She's just a type A personality. Heather does seem to talk to he daughters like they're her contemporaries. That's a boundary one has to be careful not to cross to much...imho Jen...if this is her being treated for mental health...I'm scared to see what she was like before. Mary seems to exist in Mary's world...I would need to read the travel book before I ventured there.

I've seen Mr Samuel's in past seasons...he seems like a controlling partner. Monique and Ashley have to curtail to their men because most of that money was earned pre marriage.

I think the fact most viewers list Heather as their fav will hurt the friendship.

I like Andy being talked to bluntly by first Candiace..and now Mr. Samuel's. Andy has always been the enemy...imagine if all the housewives joined forces against him. Also, Jen on SLC... exhausting. She's too emotional for my taste. She's a professional victim (thank you Dolores from NJ for that lol)

And a OLTL reboot could be more gritty and showcase a diverse landscape like in the early years.

Where's the lie? Porsha is an idiot

I think the last time Vicki really was shown working was in the late 90s/early 2000s. Heck..even crazy Lindsay was shown working at her gallery. Do we see any of the female characters working right now?

RHOP: Monique is a sociopath...even Andy was side eyeing her. Candiace is sad because she actually thought she and Monique were friends. I think Candiace expected to make friends..not be on some survivor alliance type of show. 3 parts is too much for a reunion. Part 1 should have been Giselle's downfall with Monique/Candiace concluding part 1..and carrying into part 2...and than the hubby drama concluding.

I remember Lame Davis joking that the timing of him subbing for Ron Moss when Ridge was honey mooning with Taylor meant no Speedo scenes lol

From binge watching the show...season 3 was when the seeds were planted (Monique bringing Sherman's ex wife to an event to piss off Gizelle). That breakfast in France with Monique and Gizelle is a foreshadowing of current events. The common thread is Charrisse..imho. She's been a key factor in the Sherman ex wife situation and the Monique personal trainer situation. I think Candiace is collateral damage...but I've heard she's the one to let the cat out of the bag about Gizelle's plot...hence why Monique has focused hardcore on Gizelle. Also, I think Karen has been shady with her advice to Candiace to press charges..while keeping the divide between those two going. I think had both Candiace and Monique talked without anyone else...things might not have escalated. Season 6 needs a revamp..and I think dropping just Candiace isn't the answer. Either drop both Monique and Candiace..or keep them both on.

You may not like her...but man can Candiace read someone lol. She got Gizelle upset and gathered..even Karen couldn't so that lol

I confess I'd like to see Robyn without Gizelle on the show to see if she sinks or swims. I was binge watching season 3 (last fun season) and season 4(where the tone was off..now we kind of know why). Monique and Candiace were actual friends so where did Gizelle come up with the idea that Monique didn't like Candiace from day 1?

I think season 6 needs a cast adjustment because it's going into toxic territory. Monique being physical, Karen playing both sides, Giselle wanting to ice Moniqie out, Ashley/Michael continuing their toxic marriage on the show, and Wendy is almost too serious. We need some new blood or else it will become a toxic mess like BH and OC.

For me, Monique lost me when she got physical. If you can't fight with words, walk away. She's a bully plain and simple. In fact, I can't pick a side because all of them are in the wrong.

How did Jill get amnesia? I think it would have worked if it were psychological. That life as Jill became so painful that she created a new life/persona. Losing a child, being in an emotional toxic relationship with Frank, etc. Would have been plausible

Kristi was pretty blunt...seeing Alan's face was hilarious. Did my eyes deceive me but was Harley J Kozak on the Christmas thing with the funky glasses??? I hope she does a reunion soon.
